About the restaurant
Dead Centre is not a faceless corporation…milking the beer industry for all it’s worth. Instead, we’re a tight knit crew that relies on friends, family, colleagues and other breweries to create a product that we can truly be proud of.

Fresh, flavoursome and (wherever possibly) local ingredients are what give our beer it’s character. Cutting corners here is not an option at Dead Centre Brewing. We believe you get out what you put in…so only the best goes in.

Booked for 10 people for a work event. Food and staff were excellent. Pizzas are a must order! Our group all arrived at different times and staff came to our table several times to take drink orders for new arrivals. Very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be back.

About the restaurant
Located on the lobby level of Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa, the Sugar Loaf Lounge is perfect for meeting, greeting and watching the world go by. Serving traditional Afternoon Tea daily and cocktails each evening, the Lounge is a haven of hospitality. Furnished and appointed in a style of gracious Georgian living, there's a traditional warmth to the Sugar Loaf Lounge our guests often comment on. Of course, the spectacular scenery outside, framed by the vast curved windows offers a breath-taking counterpoint to the intimate welcome within. Here there's always something to talk about.

Sugar Loaf Lounge Bar

Also ideally located on the lobby level, The Sugar Loaf Lounge Bar is the perfect setting for a pre-dinner cocktail with friends and colleagues.

About the restaurant
Classic Irish cuisine from chef Sean Smith in the Kildare countryside.

Sean’s mouth-watering new menu is as always sourced locally with some ingredients even grown on the very grounds of the Cliff at Lyons Estate. Food lovers will enjoy classics such as Roast Rib of Beef, Cherry Valley Duck Breast and Oven Baked Baby Turbot with sides of seasonal vegetables, mini Seafood platters and of course for something a bit sweet, Whiskey & Orange Ice Cream or Chocolate Fondant with Salted Caramel Ice Cream.

The Mill restaurant is the heart of Cliff at Lyons, with huge double-height ceilings, warm open fire and windows that open up to a terrace beside the mill race and waterfall. Here, you will find a relaxed style of dining where it is easy to enjoy a lunch or dinner with friends or family. The illuminated waterfall provides a unique back drop to this airy and spacious room.

Went for breakfast at GFP with two friends. I had the breakfast burrito which was very tasty and the other two had scrambled egg with avacado. Everything was very fresh and all our plates were left empty. The service was great and there was a very cosy ambience…
